When is the next free day?

Does anyone one know when the next free day to sell is?
I have loads of things to put on there.

Or maybe there is a special offer day to sell coming up ???

Thanks Kerry ;)

    Ebay announcement which I have hopefully cut and pasted the link for properly!

    http://pages.ebay.co.uk/sell/1tnov04/

    Basically anything listed on ebay uk on Thursday 4th November with a starting price of 99p or less will be listed free.

    Not so good for people selling expensive things of course as I wouldn't risk listing something expensive at a low start price on a FLD as the prices tend to stay low due to the amount of stuff that everyone lists. However brilliant for all the junk (um, collectable items) lying around or to for newbies to test the water with a few easy sales. I'll be bunging up lots of stuff that I haven't been able to sell previously just to clear some room. In a lot of cases I'll be happy to get 99p for something and take a loss rather than have it cluttering up the ebay stock cupboards much longer.

  • Next free listings day is this Thursday, 4th Nov - but you only get the basic listing fee waived, and only on items with a start price of max. 99p and no reserve.

    Does this mean it is only free for the 1 day i.e a 1 day auction? or can you list for free that day but for a 7 day auction? sorry if i sound thick but i read the T&C but only specifies the 0- 99p bit and the time.

    The 1 day bit refers to the time in which you can list for free. As long as you actually place your listing on that day (Thursday) you can list it for whatever you want, 3, 7, or 10 days.

    Only the insertion fees are free you will still have to pay if you want things like gallery photos etc.

  • I like the free listings day, it's a good way of putting up 'rubbish' that you're not sure whether anyone will buy. I've used them for getting rid of videos, old computer games and CD singles in the past.
    No reliance should be placed on the above.

  • This is a really odd discount code as you really don't see eBay codes around. The only real catch is that it is only valid when you pay with PayPal (which you probably will anyway).

    Promotional Code: CELEBRATE
    Expiry: 15/12/04

    if you bid on any item, successfully win an item over £20 and then pay with PayPal, enter the redemption code above for £2.50 off.
